NMSU football to play at least three BCS schools

The 2013 football schedule for New Mexico State hasn't officially been released, but NMSU athletic director McKinley Boston earlier confirmed the Aggies will play as an independent. "9 of the 12 home games have already been scheduled," Boston said in a released statement earlier this year. "With at least five of those games to be played at home," he added.

Here are the dates that have been confirmed so far:

Aug. 31, 2013 NMSU at Texas

Sept. 21, 2013 NMSU at UCLA

October 5, 2013 NMSU at New Mexico

The Aggies will also have a home game against Minnesota and a date with Idaho, who is also going independent.
